Also, his birthday - if I heard correctly. Ol' Roy has been behind Miller since day one. If this happens, I hope the G gets a good replacement.Also, it was pretty moronic to announce this on April Fool’s.
I actually am surprised more coaches have not retired after a year that had to be the most challenging ever in recent history due to Covid. Perhaps more will follow.Bombshell. I wonder if this caught a lot of people by surprise. I figured he'd coach for at least another 3-4 years, if not longer.
No, just helped commit severe Academic Fraud, but whatever.I see Kansas gave that POS Bill Self what's essentially a lifetime contract. At least there's no evidence St. Roy ever paid players.

I can’t remember, was that before or after the Scandal news broke? What’s insane is neither Self, Will Wade, or Sean Miller have been fired. I’ve never seen anything like this where the guillotine hangs over a coach for YEARS with no resolution.Whenever I hear Bill Self's name, it brings to mind the incredibly tone deaf KU midnight madness promo from a couple years ago with him wearing a $ sign gold chain to promote Snoop Dogg being the "entertainment" for that event.

I still think of William's as the coach of Kansas but he won three titles at UNC, and was there 3 years longer than he was at Kansas.
One of the all time greats for sure. Went out near the top. Huggins will pass him in total wins if he stays another year.

It’s going to be one of those 2. I’m not sure who I’d pick. I feel like Davis deserves it more. He left a good gig at ESPN to join the staff. And I’m sure he could’ve taken some smaller HC jobs but chose to stay loyal. However, not having that HC experience is worrisome. Miller is one of the fastest riding coaches in college basketball but he’s only 38. Is that really old enough to handle the pressures of coaching at UNC?I don't have anything against Roy. They are big on keeping the job in the family. From what I have been able to read, it sounds like Roy will really support the hiring of Wes Miller. I think it will be Hubert Davis. It seems that he has been responsible for their higher level recruits.
My brother (a die-hard Duke fan) believes it will be Hubert Davis. Whoever it is, he will be following not only Williams, but also Dean Smith before.It’s going to be one of those 2.

Technically Guthridge & Doherty were in bw Smith & Williams. Guthridge actually went to 2 FFs.My brother (a die-hard Duke fan) believes it will be Hubert Davis. Whoever it is, he will be following not only Williams, but also Dean Smith before.
Yikes!
That's right! I'm thinking Guthridge, Guthridge... And, now I remember. Doherty, a good player, did not last long, iirc.Technically Guthridge & Doherty were in bw Smith & Williams. Guthridge actually went to 2 FFs.
Only 3 seasons, but he deserves credit for bringing in the Class with Felton, May, and McCants that helped Roy win his 1st title.That's right! I'm thinking Guthridge, Guthridge... And, now I remember. Doherty, a good player, did not last long, iirc.

He was, but you know what, he’s always been an a hole. Even during his playing days, he was a .As I recall, McCants was one of the major people that helped blow the academic fraud scandal catch fire, telling ESPN Outside the Lines of the scam that kept him eligible and that Roy knew about it. Bogus classes, tutors writing papers...
